Bacteria
Bacteria (; singular: bacterium) are a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria have a wide range of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals. Bacteria are present in most habitats on Earth, growing in soil, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, water, and deep in the Earth's crust, as well as in organic matter and the live bodies of plants and animals, providing outstanding examples of mutualism in the digestive tracts of humans, termites and cockroaches. There are typically 40 million bacterial cells in a gram of soil and a million bacterial cells in a millilitre of fresh water; in all, there are approximately five nonillion (5×1030) bacteria on Earth, forming a biomass that exceeds that of all plants and animals. Bacteria are vital in recycling nutrients, with many steps in nutrient cycles depending on these organisms, such as the fixation of nitrogen from the atmosphere and putrefaction. In the biological communities surrounding hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, bacteria provide the nutrients needed to sustain life by converting dissolved compounds such as hydrogen sulphide and methane. Most bacteria have not been characterised, and only about half of the phyla of bacteria have species that can be grown in the laboratory. The study of bacteria is known as bacteriology, a branch of microbiology.

Bacteria
Les bactéries (Bacteria) sont des organismes vivants unicellulaires procaryotes (caractérisées par une absence de noyau et d'organites). La plupart des bactéries possèdent une paroi cellulaire glucidique, le peptidoglycane. Les bactéries mesurent quelques micromètres de long et peuvent présenter différentes formes : des formes sphériques (coques), des formes allongées ou en bâtonnets (bacilles), des formes plus ou moins spiralées. L’étude des bactéries est la bactériologie, une branche de la microbiologie.

Bakterier
Bakterier är encelliga mikroorganismer utan cellkärna och andra organeller. Bakterier räknas till prokaryoterna som även inkluderar domänen arkéer. Bakterier är vanligtvis ett antal mikrometer långa och väger ett antal hundra femtogram. Bakterier kan ha ett varierande utseende, bland annat formade som sfärer, spiraler (helix) eller stavar.

Bakterie
Bakterie (od gr. bakterion "pałeczka") – jednokomórkowe lub kolonijne organizmy o budowie prokariotycznej.
Bakteriami zajmuje się mikrobiologia oraz jej wyspecjalizowany dział – bakteriologia. Bakterie odgrywają pożyteczną ekologicznie rolę w obiegu biogennych pierwiastków.
